Los Angeles, CA – The cast of “The Boys” Season 4 may have inadvertently revealed their return in the upcoming episodes. Following the success of Prime Video’s “Gen V,” the highly anticipated continuation of “The Boys” universe is set to premiere in 2024. However, there are indications that the new season might arrive sooner than expected.
Season 4 promises the return of beloved characters, including Claudia Doumit’s Victoria Neuman, who will continue her ascent as a formidable villain, and Black Noir, who has undergone a recasting within the show. Fans are eager to learn if other familiar faces, such as Cate Dunlap from “Gen V” or Marie Moreau, will make cameo appearances for a crossover event.
Jensen Ackles, star of “The Boys,” recently hinted at his return for Season 4. In a photo circulating on social media, Ackles can be seen wearing a hat that prominently displays the words “The Boys Season 4,” confirming his reprisal of the role of Soldier Boy.
Widely recognized for his portrayal of Dean Winchester in The CW’s “Supernatural,” Ackles joined the cast of “The Boys” in Season 3 as a lead antagonist. His character’s unexpected resurrection in a secret Russian laboratory presented a major twist that significantly impacted the plans of the show’s main protagonists.
Though Soldier Boy’s appearance was not featured in the teaser trailer for Season 4, it was widely expected that he would play a pivotal role. His recent introduction in Season 3, as well as a cameo in the spin-off series “Gen V,” further solidified this anticipation. In an interview with Awards Radar, Ackles teased the future, affirming that Soldier Boy is still very much alive.
In the Season 3 finale of “The Boys,” Soldier Boy becomes embroiled in a series of explosive conflicts involving the main characters. The resulting chaos leads to Maeve sacrificing herself to divert an explosion and Soldier Boy being placed in cryogenic slumber. Throughout the spin-off series “Gen V,” Soldier Boy appears as a figment of Cate’s imagination, adding a humorous element to the storyline. However, this alternate version meets a dark fate when Cate’s mind deteriorates, reducing Soldier Boy to ashes and underscoring his lack of impact on the franchise’s overall narrative.
As Season 4 approaches, fans can anticipate the return of the physical version of Soldier Boy, who is likely to unleash further havoc according to the show’s upcoming plot. “The Boys” Season 4 is scheduled for release in the first half of 2024.
